The time is drawing near to say goodbye to the treacherous, dysfunctional and multimillionaire Roy family.with the start of the fourth and final season of ‘Succession’.

Fans are already trying to guess how it could all end, and the first episode of the new season may have given us a hint of what could happen – to one character, at least.

The season begins with a party to celebrate the birthday of the patriarch, Logan Roy, at his luxurious home in the Upper East Side. He doesn’t seem particularly thrilled by all the people that have gathered: “youall these little piggies stuffing their mouths, why is everyone so fucking happy?“. And it is that, although his son Connor, his son-in-law Tom and his cousin Greg are among the staff of Waystar Royco, there are some people who are conspicuous by their absence.

Logan’s wife, Marcia, is not present: “She’s in Milan, shopping. Foreverexplains his assistant Kerry. His three sons, Kendall, Shiv and Roman (now referred to by Logan as “the rats”) are also away, planning their own acquisitions after being disinherited by their father at the end of the season. third season.

Throughout the episode, it is subtly underscored that Logan is now, for all intents and purposes, alone.

Yes, he has his helper/teacher Kerry, several nice lackeys like Tom and Greg (who, despite their cocky exterior, are secretly afraid of him), and employees Frank, Gerri, and Karl, but he has no real friends and As soon as he can, Logan runs away from his own party with his security guard, Colin, for a late-night stroll in Central Park.

Is when Logan and Colin are at a coffee shop together when a glimpse of what may happen later in the season is revealed.

“You are a good guy. You’re my friendLogan tells his employee.You’re my best friendThat he’s decided that a man who works for him, who’s on the payroll, is the best friend he’s ever had, shows how lonely Logan must feel. You can almost feel sorry for the grumpy old man (but without going overboard).

“with youEverything I try to do, people turn on me“, he goes on to say, and adds: “Nothing tastes like before, right? Nothing is the same as before.”

Perhaps Logan is facing his own mortality – he is eighty years old, after all – and realizes that despite the wealth he has amassed, now he is a lonely old man whose family relationships are broken, perhaps beyond repair.

Fans have often wondered if “Succession” will end with Logan’s death, and the episode’s next few minutes are the biggest hints we’ve had so far that it might.

“Do you think there is something after all this? After? I don’t believe it. I think that’s all“, he tells Colin, pondering if there is life after death.

“We don’t know, we can’t know. But I have my suspicions. I have my fucking suspicionsyes“.

When Logan returns home, he distracts himself by bidding against his own sons to buy Piercethe company he’s been trying to acquire for years – his reaction when he loses the bid to them shows that if this is going to be his last year on earth, he’s going to be in a very bad mood while he’s gone.

Finally, he agrees to talk to Shiv, Roman, and Kendall on the phone and growls, “Congrats on giving the highest number, you fucking morons.“.

This stuns his sons, who up until then had been celebrating their victory over their father, and hints that if Logan dies before the end of ‘Succession’, it’s very likely that none of his descendants will end up inheriting his loot.

‘Succession’ has its seasons available at streaming on HBO Max.
